Fat denial - annoying or empowering?

I've seen a lot of people recently, on TV, online, people I know, etc. who say they are just fine with being heavy and don't want to lose any weight. There are these little graphics that I see on so many people's MySpace and Facebook accounts that empower heavy people. I've seen things that say "Skinny is for punks" "Fat chicks rock" 'inside my is a skinny girl wanting to get out so I shut the bitch up with chocolate" etc.

What do you think of this kind of attitude? I think it scary that people are OK with being unhealthy (or at least pretending they are OK with it).

How would you approach a friend who put these kinds of slogans on their Facebook when you are concerned about their health?

I still have some weight to lose, but to you girls who are at your goal weight - do you find the graphics that say things like "skinny is for punks" insulting? Do you often feel that fat people are biased against you (probably stemming from jealously)?
